Old Boys Have All the Fun

Chulbul Putin

A new study in Britain has revealed that the typical nifty 50 is more sociable, happy and active than most 25- year-olds. They enjoy more nights out, travel further afield and catch up with friends more frequently. Their partying would put even a 25 year old to shame. 50 it seems is the new 25!

Take the case of Vladmir Putin, the 58 year old Russian P.M who is all set to replace his rusty old model with a sleek, acrobatic one. And no, I don’t mean his car. Putin apparently has split from his wife and is preparing to tie the knot with the 24 year old gymnast, Alina Kabeva. Alina’s father when contacted expressed ignorance about the ‘good news’, but added if she marries such a man it will be great, he’s quite similar to me. What’s so great about marrying a man who reminds you of your dad!

The septuagenarians, it seems are having even more fun. It has been reported that Morgan Freeman, the 72 year old Oscar winning actor, is all set to marry his longtime sweetheart E’Dena Hines. The 27 year old incidentally, also happens to be his step-granddaughter. Freeman has been maintaining a 10-year relationship with his step-granddaughter, which means she would have been barely 17 when they first ‘got together’. “Becoming Mrs. Morgan Freeman has been E’Dena’s goal,” revealed a family source. Some girls, it seems are intent on making a transition from sugar daddies to grand daddies. And granddaddies are only too happy to oblige.

Now you know why he's grinning so much

Then you have Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian PM. He may be just 73 years old, but Berlusconi is more in news for his weakness for beautiful women and trysts with 19 year old lingerie models. Casanova just became a lil older. And how can we forget Hugh Hefner, the 84 year old original playboy and his bedroom antics! Are they for real or does he imagine them….just curious.

But if old boys can have all the fun, old girls are expected to behave i.e. cook and watch saas bahu serials. In a case of honour killing with a ‘twist’, a daughter and her boyfriend in New Delhi allegedly killed her widowed Mom jee, for having an affair with another man. Mom!!! You’ve been naughty and deserve to be punished.

But what gave me the shock of my life was my newspaper. A few days back, my humble newspaper spoke to me and no, it wasn’t my mind playing tricks with me. A lot of palpitations later, I discovered it was the Volkswagen, Vento ad with an attached speaking device. Trust the Germans to play such a nasty trick on us!!!

I knew about Berlusconi & Putin's raunchy antics. About Freeman, I didn't know. I'm a huge fan of his works. This news made him plummet to the bottom of my least fav people!!My god, how could such old men behave like this!! Such a shame. The ones who are supposed to be our role models do these kinda things!!The girls are little children compared to them!!Crazy world!!!

@ Girish, why should any fan feel that their fav stars let them down if they marry their step grand children? Its their personal lives, we can only be their fan of their works not their personal lives!

Bhavana: I'm one of the least judgemental persons you can find on the face of this planet! (I've an opinion on everything, but I don't judge people)But it grossed me out that a man of his stature is having a relationship with a very young woman who happens to be his own gd (step or otherwise, I don't care)..!And I never said I fell off the bandwagon of his fans. I just don't like him as a person anymore!

good one, particularly the volksvogen ad , the day when the ad appeared on times i picked my paper from balcony and i heard some audio, i was wondering my mobile is ringing however it wasnt my ringtone, then while reading paper i noticed the audio device lol :)

I think it would be fair to say that for every 50 year old man having an affair or more with a younger woman, there is also a younger woman having the time of her life with a mature, financially secure and confident man, who treats her well, and can afford to buy her bling..and what is wrong with that?

Well I suppose that's the trend in the west.....multiple marriages, extramarital affairs, significant difference in ages.What about Woody Allen? He too married his step-daughter...although she was adopted.And there's another serial womanizer Clint Eastwood. Although he is 80 years old, he is still a hit with the ladies. You should read about his personal life somewhere...gave me the creeps.Well I suppose to the west there's no such word as 'depravity' in their dictionaries.

Lets take bollywood, it is acceptable for a 40 year old guy to romance 18 year old girl in a situation where he plays a college guy and she a college girl(so she is playing her age). HAve you ever seen the opposite happen?When same thing is true with soceity and its unfair!A woman who has an affair with an younger man is frowned upon, but a man who has an affair with a girl raises a smile!

It's the era of incest, homosexuality and what not. Let them have fun. By the way, girls always preferred older boys, didn't they? I supposed they would prefer someone who might be 5-6 years older than them but daddies and grand daddies...it's outrageous.

well i guess its just the case of age not being a barrier for love..and well i do believe that these guys u talked about will not change..well its just the way they live....the society has evolved hasnt it to accept their lives and accept them too

Gee...I am rubbing my hands together in anticipation! Will be 50 in 2 odd months and from what you say I will have a blast...:)Chulbul Putin got his bulbul...Morgan Freeman is DEAD...maybe it's in heaven, you are talking about...Oh there will be so many virgins to be had there!

nice observation... so the retirement age is now 45 :DNot sure if you have seen some of those pension plan ads where in the old boy is always busy visiting places... Life is a continuos process of learning and changing :D

Hey I am past 50 and I guess it is time to break the stereotype of cooking and watching serials! since I don't watch the latter anyway, I think I will just put the notice in of 'no cooking;! But there is a slight hitch -- am still in love with the L&M! :D

But yeah, the entire history of mankindpoints to the fact that women are around to serve dinner and dust the furniture lest they incure the wrath of the insecure male EGO!Long live HUGH HEFNER and the dust that always seem to settle on the furniture!!!!

The public forgets and forgives. Look what happened to Woody Allen. The man decided to shack in with his step-daughter and we were outraged. But do we care anymore? I still am a huge fan of his quirky style of film making.

Whoa! Never knew such things happened in a society of such famous people. Really interesting read. Now we should just sit back and wait when grandpa's would start marrying their 5 year-old grand-grand daughters !And I'm glad it's just men having the fun - imagine an 80-year old lady marrying her grandson. Will surely comment on your blog from now :)
